What is a SMART Team?
S- Students M- Modeling A R- Research T- Topic

This is a program currently run by the Center for Biomolecular Modeling headed by Shannon Colton. We at the CBM do not do any of the research it's all the students that research and study what it is that their molecule does. These students are any where from Jr.High students to Seniors graduating from High School. Our job at the CBM is to put them in contact with a researcher that is interested in participating in the program and to help in making a physical model for the students to use when demonstrating what it is their molecule does. www.rpc.msoe.edu/cbm/smartteams/

Why Should I join a SMART team?


 * It's a great way to be introduced to modern research
 * Looks good on a College application
 * Good way to meet new people that are interested in the same things you are
 * Most Importantly it's FUN!!

Center for Biomolecular Modeling Physical Models
The MSOE Center for Biomolecular Modeling has created various physical models of Hemoglobin. Posted is a video displaying one such model and a discussion of some of the properites of Hemoglobin it exhibits. For more information about the CBM and the models we create, visit our site at http://cbm.msoe.edu.

Physical Models
The model shown in Model Image 1 to the left is an example of a physical model of the zinc finger protien. In this representation, the Alpha Helix is shown in Red, the Beta Sheets are displayed in Yellow, and the Residues are represented in CPK color format (O=red, N=blue, C=gray, S=yellow). The Zinc Atom in this structure is colored Red.

The model in Model Image 2 shown to the right is an example of a 'mini-toober' model. The side chains are again displayed in CPK color format. The zinc atom in this example is displayed in green.

The models in Model Image 3 are a variety of different representations for the zinc finger molecule. These representations include backbone, wireframe, and spacefill model types.
